Upriver Technologies

-

Impactful full-stack developer with experience building web and native apps for multiple startups across healthcare tech, social platforms, and restaurant systems. Thrived under tight deadlines, growing from coding basics to shipping production-ready solutions end-to-end.

Project highlights

Healthentia React Native Javascript

For Healthentia, I transformed an unstable Android health app prototype into a viable product through critical bug fixing and stabilization. My efforts eliminated persistent startup crashes, allowing the team to shift focus from firefighting to new feature development. Beyond core stability, I refined the UX for easier access to critical medical data, contributing to interface enhancements across authentication and data display flows.

Momsi React Native Node.js Express PostgreSQL

During a period of peak project demands for Momsi, I assumed full-stack ownership of both the React Native mobile app and its backend infrastructure. This involved redesigning the user onboarding experience to reduce confusion, rewriting error-prone Marketplace components, and implementing end-to-end features, from database schema design to frontend implementation. This project significantly propelled my growth, as I independently designed, built, and shipped production-ready features without direct supervision.

Key achievements

— Redesigned user onboarding experience
— Resolved critical errors in Marketplace functionality
— Implemented 15+ new features from scratch

Dinner in the Sky React Remix Typescript Node.js

My proudest achievement was the independent, end-to-end development of the Dinner in the Sky reservation system, a complete client-side solution built from initial concept to deployment. The web application streamlined customer bookings with real-time availability, while its robust admin panel empowered non-technical staff to dynamically manage reservations and content. Successfully taking this project from a nascent idea to a fully functional, maintainable application taught me invaluable lessons in translating vague requirements into concrete solutions.

Core features

— Real-time reservation management
— Dynamic content editing capabilities for non-technical staff
— Integrated payment and scheduling workflows

Transition to Academia

My time at Upriver provided a robust professional foundation, significantly accelerating my growth from a novice coder into a confident developer. The lessons learned, particularly from my mentor Andrei, continue to shape my approach to problem-solving and my understanding of what it means to deliver quality software.
